Had fun last week covering the installation of Matthew Day Jackson’s very large bronze sculpture “The Burghers of Calais” at Hauser+Wirth Gallery on West 18th St in Chelsea. The artists and his team were fantastic to watch, a real treat to see skilled craftsmen hard at work!

The final result is here and the whole show opened last Friday so go on by Hauser+Wirth to see the entire show.

We shot a cool story for The New York Times T Magazine a few months back up in Cranberry Lake, NY about a 1963 World’s Fair Pavilion that a family converted to their upstate cabin in the woods and the story came out over Memorial Day Weekend. It’s really beautiful up there but far far away …

While on location in Japan earlier this month we had the great fortune of visiting this ancient Buddhist temple in the hills above the Gion district in Kyoto. Founded in 798 the present buildings date from 1633, and amazingly are built entirely without the use of nails.

Conde Nast Traveler sent us to southern Utah to shoot the Amangiri Resort for their 2013 Gold List Issue and we are thankful they did. If you’ve never been to that part of the country it’s an experience I can recommend without hesitation. A beautiful and serene landscape, truly peaceful and awe inspiring.

The secret (and the issue) is out, the good folks at CN Traveler sent us to one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever seen to photograph the ritzy Amangiri Resort for their January 2013 Gold List issue.

If you have a chance to go to the resort you’re very lucky indeed, if not it’s worth it to just visit that part of southern Utah/northern Arizona as the landscape is breathtaking – calm, quiet, spiritual, ancient and transporting.

There are more of my photos in the issue so have a look there and when the CN embargo is up I’ll put them up here as well.

Thank you all for your support through this past year and wishing everyone a Happy 2013!
